Is one of the University of Virginia fight song the same as Auld Lang Syne? University of Virginia - and the good old song (while good old song, of the order of "Auld Lang Syne" is sometimes mistakenly thought of as a song of struggle, it is actually the alma mater of the school )
This is the last song played at graduation

Lyrics Craighill A. Edward, 1895
That good old song Wahoowa,
We will sing the song.
It cheers our heart and warms the blood
To hear them yelling and screaming.
We come from Old Virginia
When everything is bright and gay.
Let's all join hands and give a cry
For dear old UVA.
What the tide of years may roll
And we drift away,
For Alma Mater still there will
A place in the heart of any anxiety.
In college, we'll sing its praises,
And yes, when the distance
In memory we will always
In the good old UVA.
(Singing)
WAHOOWA, WAHOOWA
UNI-V, VIR-GIN-IA
HOO-RAH-RAY, HOO-RAH-RAY
RAY! RAY! UVA!

The good old song
"The Rider Song" (This is the real fight song)
Fight Song
Come and sing the dear old name of Virginia,
And to the Blue Ridge roar;
For the world yields honor of his name
Who knew his acts of yesteryear.
Then make each heart a flowing bowl,
And pour our strong commitments
As in centuries yet to roll;
triumph song of Virginia.
Once again our forces won the battle;
We win because the winner.
And all the men raised their voices in praise
The orange and blue.
Thus, over the years as the Cavaliers,
We shout the name of Virginia!
It is e'er on earth and sea
A sign of power and glory
The Cavalier Song, UVA Yes,
Yes. This week, I heard the song Auld Lang Syne on my college basketball game and was curious whose song was so I looked.
"The University of the alma mater of Virginia, the good old song, is sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne."
